Festive fun at the Garden

The Christmas holidays were ushered in with style at the Festive Family Fun Day held at the Lowveld National Botanical Garden on Monday 16 December.

Event sponsors Riverside Park called in all the ingredients for a fun-filled day, with face-painters, jumping castles, soccer, board games, clowns on stilts and plenty of food and drink for visitors to enjoy.

Santa Clause himself paid a visit to ensure that the day remained as festive an occasion as possible in the drizzly weather.

The afternoon culminated in vocal performances from the Wits University choir and local group African Songbirds, and a variety of stunning dances from Oriental Fire and model agency Step Ahead.
